Hope Lives

If you lose hope, you will not be looking for solutions and will miss them even if they pass right in front of you.

There can nothing worse than a person who has lost hope. The next thing they lose is life. Death will is the next step for someone that has lost their hope. When you lose hope you give up. When you give up you naturally stop looking for solutions to situations you are facing. In particular, the situation that has caused you to lose hope. You may be facing something today that has been stealing your hope little by little. Don’t give up on hope. No matter what it looks like right now, hope is your lifeline. Stay with hope. Keep a tight grip on hope. It doesn’t matter if there doesn’t look like there is any hope. Hope is there, even when it looks like all is gone. Just because everyone may have left and turned their back on you, hope is still alive. If you have lost your hope today, then revive it. Keep your hope back. Believe in hope. Believe that your situation will improve. If not the situation, then believe you will improve. In any case, don’t lose hope. Be strong today. You are not alone. Are you needing to hope regain your hope today?

Opportunity of Your LIfe

When your special, once in a lifetime moment comes, be ready. What a tragedy if it finds you unprepared or unqualified for your finest hour.

The opportunity of a lifetime must be grasp during the lifetime of the opportunity. You are going to have moments in your life that are special. Be sure that you are ready, that you are prepared to make the most of that time.  God has a plan for you and everyone else. There are times He has scheduled for you. However, He will not force you to be at the right place at the right time doing the right thing the right way for the right reason. Only you can make sure of all that. He has done His part, it is time for you to do your part. Be sure you are working your process. Make sure you are doing your very best at being your best. Many people are not where they are supposed to be today. They stopped working their process. They have given up. It is a tragedy when their time comes and they are not ready. They miss their opportunity of their lifetime because they gave up yesterday.  If you aren’t doing your best today, then get started again. Be prepared and qualified for your moment. It’s not too late. Start today! Are you prepared for your once in a lifetime moment?

Something Great

We all have those special moments when we are tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do something great.

Your day is coming. I want to remind you that you are full of incredible potential. When God created you, He deposited seeds of greatness inside of you. He’s given you your own dreams and desires. You have something to offer that no one else has. But too often, we allow adversities, disappointments and setbacks to push these things down, until one day, we find that we’re not pressing forward anymore. We’re not stretching; we’re not believing to rise any higher. When adversity comes, it’s easy to think, “Why is this happening to me?” The answer is because the enemy knows what’s on the inside of you. He’s going to do everything he can to keep that seed from taking root. But, he will only be successful if you let him. He can’t stop you unless you quit. During the difficult times, remember that the gifts and callings God has placed within you are still there. Don’t become stagnate in pursuing your dreams. It’s time to get your fire back! It’s time to press forward. It’s time to dig deep inside and take hold of the marvelous destiny God has prepared for you. Are you prepared for something great to take place in your life?

Push Others Higher

One of signs of greatness is wanting something better for others. It’s the willingness to take second place if it means willfully moving others higher.

It’s easy to be someone’s friend when they’ve got it all together, when they’re walking in blessing and prosperity. Anybody can believe in people after they’re successful, after they graduate, after they’re promoted, after they get their big break. But, people need our support the most before they get their breakthrough. They need us to look past their faults and failures and see their potential. Most times, people just need a little “push” of encouragement to keep them moving forward. We should always put ourselves in the other person’s shoes and see things from their perspective. You may have some good advice that could save them a lot of heartache and pain. Don’t keep it to yourself. Pick up the phone. Help them win. Maybe you excelled in a college course that they’re struggling in. Don’t sit back and think, “Too bad. They’ve got to learn it the hard way.” When you help others rise higher, you are fulfilling your mission. Today, share your love, support and encouragement. Invest life in others, see their potential. Is there someone you need to help move higher?

Greatness Minded

Life on the edge of greatness is dynamic and ever changing. There is no endpoint, you are always striving to be the best you can be.

I want to remind you of what God says about you. No matter what’s happening in your life today, remember: you are not limited by your resources, your family or your background. God has equipped and empowered you. He has given you creativity, ideas, inventions, skills and talents. Don’t you dare settle for a mediocre life! Today, bring out the seeds of greatness inside of you. Your best days are ahead. You are going to go further than anyone in your family ever did; that you are going to dream bigger and live higher. You are a leader, an influencer, a restorer. You have greatness inside you. Don’t ever give up. Keep being the best you that you can be. Keep working your process. Are you ready for greatness today?

No More Struggling

Don’t let your struggles become your identity.
We all go through seasons of difficulty and face storms in life. But during those times, we have to remember that God is greater than any struggle we face! He’ll take those challenges and use them to strengthen us, but we have to do our part and keep working our process toward the victory. Think about the caterpillar before it becomes a butterfly. When it’s wrapped in its cocoon on the backside of some tree, it doesn’t look like it has many options. But inside that cocoon as it becomes a butterfly, it doesn’t just sit and wait for someone to come and let it out. No, that butterfly knows that it has to make a move if it’s going to be set free to fly. In the same way, we have to do something to get out of the confining places we are in. We have to pray, we have to believe, and we have to press through to victory. No matter what you may be facing, remember His grace is sufficient for you. His strength is made perfect in you. He has given you everything you need to overcome in this life. Now is the time to break free and rise to new levels because He has victory and blessing prepared for you. Are you struggling today?

Focusing on the Right

Always find good things to dwell on in your mind. Keep your mind focused on the good, the pure, the loving.

As we draw near to the end of another year I, like most of you, will look back over this past year, reflect for a moment, then start to focus on 2013. There have been some awesome things take place and some devastating things take place this year. I want to encourage you to focus on the good and take that with you into the new year. Take the extra time and make the extra effort to find the good in everything. Make it a lifestyle. Keep your mind clear and clean from all the negative stuff that has tried to get you distracted this year. Comfort those that need comforting. Encourage the people that need to be encouraged. Love all, all the time. Be that person that makes a positive difference in those around you. You are a special, unique and gifted person. Take from 2012 and add it to 2013 to make it the best year ever. Stay focused on the good, the pure, and the loving.

Feeling Great

The highest level of greatness is living and working in the true greatness zone, the place of your potential.

I want to remind you that you are full of incredible potential. When God created you, He deposited seeds of greatness inside of you. He’s given you your own dreams and desires. You have something to offer that no one else has. But too often, we allow adversities, disappointments and setbacks to push these things down, until one day, we find that we’re not pressing forward anymore.

It’s time to get your fire back! It’s time to press forward. It’s time to dig deep inside and take hold of the marvelous destiny God has prepared for you. Are you ready to explore the greatness inside of you today?

Change Embracer

When you live the change you want to see and don’t grow tired from it, then follow through. Then inspiration will manifest itself.

Rather than waiting for and trying to make others change; be the change you want to see. The one thing that remains constant in the world is change. I don’t know anyone who really likes change, but when you live a lifestyle of change then it does become much easier. Not easy but definitely easier. Learn to embrace change and not dread it. Be the change you want to see. Once you become accustomed to change and being the change then you will get the inspiration you need to continue. Its not as difficult as it sounds. Living a change type of lifestyle is exciting. Just know that change is going to happen whether you like it or not, but it’s much better if you like it. Be a change embracer and see your life change for the better. Are you seeing some changes coming you need to embrace?

Storms Coming

Everyone faces the storms of life. Sometimes we have the faith to be delivered from the storms instantly; sometimes we have the faith to walk through the storms.

Either way though, you can be sure that God is right there with you. He will equip you and sustain you. He will give you the grace, the supernatural empowerment, to make it through. Today, maybe you are facing a storm and can’t quite see a way out. Maybe you’re not sure what the answer is. All you have to do is take it one step at a time by saying, “God, I know You have a good plan for my future.” “God, I am doing better today than I was yesterday.” “God, I know You are leading and guiding me.” With every step you take, know that God is doing a work in your life. Know that He is with you, and He will comfort you. Keep moving forward. Keep taking those steps of faith and keep walking through the storm into the place of victory He has prepared for you.
